Where is the love for Stanislav Szukalski?

i had never heard of him & watched the Netflix doc last night

honestly i had a feeling that the nationalist shoe would drop at some point v early in the doc. you could just tell that would be a thing.

but it was really wild how Glenn Bray is like “well, he wasnt anti semitic around ME” … and part of me is thinking, ok but does he ~have~ to be? for his already documented antisemitism to be a problem for bray specifically? just those lines people are willing to draw for themselves. and being so enamored with the art

also they establish pretty effectively how compartmentalized szukalski was depending on the company he kept. i mean, maintaining such a close friendship w Hecht ffs.

it was weird to watch it all play out

plus Szukalski is just broadly fkn ~out there~ in general, like from the off! studying his dad’s corpse for anatomy reference? jesus. and the bizarre but unsettling theories on evolution, the Easter Island & yeto stuff… i dunno. it’s kooky yes but also super dark. like if they had said he was a eugenicist i wouldnt have been surprised

amazing sculptures & art for sure

but… jesus christ

really good doc though
